lol: @ Bama fans jumping off cliffs right now. But seriously did anyone actually think they would find anything? Auburn knows how to cheat and not get caught. We should take notes

Did Lance Ito preside over this investigation?

I'm surprised. I thought they were going down.

Well, there's been great precedent set if Dooley wants to start opening the checkbook.

 

[Billy Antrim]

What a joke! smh

 

[rekinhavoc]

Wow what did that cost them?

I'm surprised. I thought they were going down.

The NCAA may be done for now, but the IRS probably isn't and I'm sure the media will continue to look into this case. If either the government or a credible media outlet (i.e., not Danny Sheridan) uncovers something, the NCAA will hop right back into this.

Apparently there's language in the letter Auburn got that basically says "as of right now" and "based on current evidence" etc. Sounds like the NCAA is just leaving the door open with that type of wording.

Anyone else read "refused to cooperate" as "were paid for their uncooperation"?

I had that thought...if they took Auburn booster money once, why wouldn't they take it again?

 

[YankeeVol]

Oh well

You guys cant be that stupid. Every single one of those morons that appeared on "Dirty Money" had a long-standing grudge against Auburn...and what perfect timing for them (during the Newton saga) to try and cash in by making some **** up about getting benefits. They were uncooperative because it was made up.

But please; continue in living in your little delusional worlds.
